This will be the first time I pay anywhere near MSRP. I'm not being impatient because I have to be the first one to have one. I'm being impatient because I just think they are too sexy to wait!

To frame that in the form of my guess/prediction I would be very surprised if you saw a 2LT even top 60k and I believe significantly less than that.

Prices will drop
As with anything the prices will drop. Matter of supply and demand. Just like when the ZR first came out people dished out the the bucks like it was no ones business.
And then like anything else prices fell. The same will happen with the new vette. There will be lots of hype for a little bit,but as time goes on and the demand slows the prices will taper off and it will be just another vette on the road. Seriously doubt GM pumped all that money into this corvette project just so they could produce a handful. The will produce a sufficient quantity for the masses. I am going to hang on to my ZR1 which to this day still gets some serious neck strains as people pass by. Lol! Then when GM decides to make a high performance version (if they do) then perhaps the rear end will have grown on me enough to trade in my ZR. Who knows.
My biggest question is to whether or not mod my Z or leave her stock. I can always take the parts off and return her to stock for sell. Hmmm
Undecided.
But officer I was only doing 150!!!! LMAO!

What happened to all you people who said they put down deposits at MSRP when CRISWELL CHEVY said he was accepting deposits to get on the list. I don't see none of you guys chiming in now.

I agree. I will compare the new C7 price with a new 2013 with similar options. I will then have to decide if it is worth the upgrade cost and I feel it probably won't be at MSRP so realistically I won't end up buying one until late into the second model year.

There are forum dealers willing to do $1,000 under MSRP right now. They are the smart ones in the dealership world.

I think you are WAY high on your estimation of MSRP and option pricing. My .02. I was told that if you can afford a 2013 C6, you will be able to afford a 2014 C7. That suggests to me that you will see pricing right in league with current pricing and that would be in keeping with pricing structures from the last to generation launches.
To frame that in the form of my guess/prediction I would be very surprised if you saw a 2LT even top 60k and I believe significantly less than that.

When the C5 came out most dealers sold them at list price for the first 4 years.
..... I had one dealer tell me he gives his price and people say I can buy it at---- for less. He says go 200 miles away and buy it but don't bring it here for warranty work and expect a loaner car etc. Also my customers come first for service and you will be at the end of the line.

The only way I could imagine myself paying MSRP is if I leased one and the lease rates were such that it was hard to refuse. I did that with my first C6 and actually got a great lease deal. When the lease was up, I picked up my current Z06 at a great price which I financed. I have no regrets either because my first C6 gave me 3 great enjoyable years at a very reasonable price and when I was ready to upgrade, I found an amazing deal on my Z. When the times comes for my C7, I will have plenty of equity in my C6 Z06 to make a seamless transition without an increase in overhead. If for some odd reason I decided to lease a Z51 model, I would stash my equity so I had it set aside for the Z06 version as that is really what I want.

When I bought my C5 in early '98 it was the hottest thing since sliced bread....I only got a small discount just under and 5% GM discount and this was because the dealer screwed up on allocation and my negotiation (he thought he had much more) . Everyone else was paying MSRP back then at other dealerships. The C5 was freakin' hot
It was so hot that after I waited 4 months for the RedC5 to come in the dealer offered me $1500 cash to just walk away....of course I said no wanting it so bad (I bet no one has ever had this happen). I could have sold it 2 years later and lost $0.
I wonder it the C7 will yield such excitement......

A big shout out to the guys that pay MSRP or above. You are the guys that work out the bugs and make it possible for me to buy the second model year for thousands less.
Hopefully the Corvette team puts more HP into the second model year.

F*** that! Not only pay MSRP but pay MSRP for the first model year with all the bugs??
By the 2016 model year it should be pretty well sorted out.

Hi Paul...I'm sure you're much more informed than I am but I looked at the "available" options over and above the 2LT; 6-sp auto, NAV, custom brake calipers, Z51, MAG ride control, competition seats, carbon roof panel, fancy wheels, spoilers, ETC...I can see how a 2LT with these options can easily hit 70k assuming the base model with no options is 55k.
I guess you may be defining 'nicely loaded' as actually being 'fully loaded to the nines', but us common folk wouldn't think that way.
And now I see you have edited to bump the model to a 2013 GS. There ain't one of them yet in the C7.

Hi. I'm new here. Typically, how long after the first batch of arrivals hit the dealership until you start seeing discounts off MSRP (without having "connections" to the dealership).
Is there a possibility the 2015 model may get a power increase? I know GM did that in 2001/2002 with the Z06 but doing that with the C7 would **** off the new blood they're trying to pull in with the C7 (like me).
Also, what you consider a decent price/discount when the cars hit the showroom vs. in 6 months vs. in a 1 year?
